Accessorizing Neon

The ultimate “must have” and “most wanted” 2019 – the NEON – is actually rather controverse. Not everyone can identify himself with this trend for the obvious fact of these highlighter hues being simply too bright.

And yet, runways from New York to Paris are bringing back fashion’s brightest colors for Spring 2019. Neon is officially the 2019 Fashion Must!

Of course, we just cannot afford to miss out the Fluorescent Fever this season!

I did not want to stay out, either, and am presenting a sporty monochrome neon look here. Head-to-toe color has always been my favorite option, as you know.

Head-to-toe in this fabulous lime yellow is daring, I know, but I really wanted to rock this street-style rave-neon. It’s shockingly bright, but that makes it more fun. This vivid hue automatically makes you at least one level brighter than anyone else. Wearing Neon signals a certain kind of confidence. I can totally understand that this is not everyone’s choice.

But what about Accessories? – you might ask. Well, in my opinion, nothing matches Neon (be it lime or orange or pink) better than black. For the one thing, it sort of calms down the rave fever, for another, it produces a very contrasting combination, providing structure to the whole ensemble.

Of course, you can do it vice-versa and opt for Neon Accessories pairing them with a basic subtle outfit like one in black or grey, for instance. In my future Posts, I will surely be presenting this variation of Neon, as well – stay tuned!

Some interesting facts about Neon:

Basically, there are four variations of Neon: Neon yellow, Neon lime green, Neon orange and Neon pink. The correct name of these colors is actually: fluorescent.

Have you ever wondered why these colors are so much brighter than other colors?

It’s because they reflect more light than the others! Regular, non-fluorescent colors appear to our eyes when objects absorb some wavelengths of light, and reflect others. For example, a red scarf looks red because its paint reflects the wavelength of red light, and absorbs the other wavelengths.

Fluorescent colors also reflect or absorb colors, but that extra glow in fluorescent colors comes from energy humans don’t see, called ultraviolet light.

Normally, ultraviolet (UV) is beyond the visible spectrum. Regular dyes just absorb UV along with all the other wavelengths they don’t reflect, that is why, it is not visible to the eye. However, fluorescent dyes contain substances that respond to UV.

Thus, fluorescents absorb and reflect light energy of the dominant wavelength, but also the wavelengths of ultraviolet rays. Because of this feature, your eyes view fluorescent colors more intensely as if they’re “glowing”.
